If it is so important to the left to stop Sarah Palin from running for President, then it is that much more important that she run - and win!

In May 2008 Candidate Obama was photographed walking with a copy of "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria. Monte Kuligowski in an American Thinker article, "Obama's Post-American World," questioned how this man running to be our president would read a book about a post-American world (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶10). His choice of reading material was only one of many warning signs pointing to a man whose loyalty lies not with the United States, but elsewhere.

Kuligowski delineated in 18 paragraphs the complete ideology that underpins Obama's policies. Here are three of the most salient ones:

We must recognize that Obama's domestic policies overlap with his global ideology. In Obama's world, the pie is not growing, and everyone should have the same-sized slice. Spreading the wealth around via excessive taxation, unfortunately for those hoping in hope, will lead to a lack of production and prosperity. It will not create equal slices, but instead shrink the American pie (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶5).

Mr. Obama needs a weak America to facilitate his view of global multiculturalism. No country is better than any other. So-called evil regimes are really dispossessed nations that need to be understood and brought to the table. Once at the table, we will see that our mutual interests make self-interests innocuous. Old views of American exceptionalism are simply worn out (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶6).

The President is a creature of postmodern, post-Christian thinking. He is a new kind of leftist. Barack Hussein Obama is essentially a global Marxist. On a global scale, the proletariat consists of the poor nations of the world that have been oppressed by powerful, greedy, self-interested countries. The United States is the prime example of the global bourgeoisie. The evil, capitalistic country, still high on religious opium, represents all that is wrong with the world (Kuligowski, 2009, ¶7).

In April 2009, Obama was gifted with a copy of "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent" written in Spanish. Granted, Obama does not understand Spanish and it is safe to say he has not read the book. But, Open Veins is something he would agree wholeheartedly with. The premise of Open Veins is that the US among other countries exploited Latin America - the proletariat nations "oppressed by powerful, greedy self-interested countries" Kuligowski referred to (Tapper and Miller, 2009, ¶1-12). Chavez who heads an authoritarian communist regime is in bed with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. At a UN meeting, Chavez referred to President Bush as "the devil" and routinely railed at the United States as being an "evil imperialist" nation. Sound familiar?

Socialist in the White House

"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez quipped in a June 2009 broadcast (Pretel, 2009, ¶3). "During a decade in government, Chavez has nationalized most of Venezuela's key economic sectors, including multibillion dollar oil projects, often via joint ventures with the private sector that give the state a 60 percent controlling stake." (Pretel, 2009, ¶4).

Speaking of "Comrade Castro," guess who gave ObamaCare high accolades? Why, "Comrade Castro" of course.

Mike Brownfield of Heritage Foundation wrote, "According to an Associated Press report, Castro hailed Obamacare as “a miracle” and “an important battle and a success of (Obama’s) government. Castro went on to favorably compare President Obama’s health care plan to the one Cuba enacted a half century ago" (Brownfield, 2010, ¶2-3).

The foregoing is just a brief summary of the Marxist ideology that underpins everything Obama does. When he was inaugurated, Obama swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic. But his actions, and prior nefarious associations clearly indicate that his loyalty is not to our country. On Thursday, Obama snubbed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a dinner in the White House. He eschews allies like the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Israel. He prefers the likes of the Castro brothers, Hugo Chavez, and Islamic dictators, many of whom fuse communism with Islam.

She leads in order to serve, not in order to rule. On the day this photo was taken, she could have been feasting on caviar and drinking Dom Pérignon with the elites in Washington D.C. and primping herself for a presidential run. Gov. Palin in coordination with Samaritan's Purse led a humanitarian mission to distressed villages in remote areas of Alaska to ensure that families there could survive the severe winter. Kneeling before this child to hold her was arguably Gov. Palin's finest hour. My president knows how to prioritize.

A good Commander cares for her troops and elevates them.

There is absolutely no doubt about where my President's loyalty is. She understands that American exceptionalism is timeless. Never will she diminish our standards to "level the playing field."

My President knows the root cause of 9/11 and will fight to destroy it till the day she draws her final breath. My President reads about American heroes. The book in her hand is: The Book of Mychal: The Surprising Life and Heroic Death of Father Mychal Judge.

Summary:

Between Gov. Palin and Obama, there are no pale pastels. The differences are bold and stark. One is a Marxist bent on achieving global equality by diminishing and tearing down the nation he swore to serve. He snubs friends and welcomes enemies. He leads to rule. The other is a Reagan conservative who knows that under the right stewardship our best days are still ahead. She knows that "pretty good" is not good enough, that it is in fact "pretty bad." She knows we are a beacon of hope and freedom in the world; that we are a force for good. She knows that peace is achieved through strength.

Governor Palin spoke before a crowd estimated at about 20,000 yesterday in Searchlight, NV, Senator Harry Reid's hometown. Her speech drew applause throughout and further energized a crowd that was already fired up.

At the start of her speech, she joked about writing on her hand, something she has come to call "the poor man's version of the teleprompter." Then she got down to business--God, military, energy, taxes, freedom.

And yes, she took on the lamestream media's ridiculous lie that she and other tea partiers incite violence.

“When we talk about fighting for our country, let’s clear the air right now about what we’re talking about,” she told an estimated 20,000 tea partiers gathered for a rally in a windswept desert lot about four miles north of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s tiny hometown. “We’re not inciting violence. Don’t get sucked into the lame-stream media lies.”

Palin said “violence isn’t the answer.” She said “our vote is our arms” and encouraged activists not to be discouraged by the passage of the Democratic healthcare overhaul bill last week, but rather to channel their energies into defeating congressional Democrats who supported the legislation.

Contrast that to Harry Reid's supporters today who allegedly threw eggs at Andrew Breitbart and the Tea Party Express bus. Read about that here and here. I would sit around and wait for the lamestream media and Left-wingers to cry out in outrage against this behavior, but I have things to do and can't wait that long.

In spite of the violent behavior against the tea partiers, nothing dampened the mood. Governor Palin's speech certainly did not disappoint. The thousands of patriots gathered left more determined than ever to take back the country they so dearly love.

The health care bill has sparked a wave of tension, bringing death threats and vandalism to politicians on both sides of the fence and has many pointing fingers as the tide of anger and outrage grows. Sarah Palin's comments on Twitter had many on the Left citing that Palin's choice of words and a graphic of crosshair targets on her Facebook page were "inappropriate."

Palin's twitter message ... "Commonsense Conservatives & lovers of America: “Don’t Retreat, Instead – RELOAD!” Pls see my Facebook page," drew as much attention as can be expected from many of Palin's posts. Some Republicans saw the attention as a distraction method, trying to veer Americans away from the most important issue at hand--healthcare itself.

Ann Curry of NBC's Today Show pressed the issue when Sen. John McCain appeared on Thursday. McCain was asked about, what Curry described as, Palin's "incendiary language."

"Those words have been used throughout my political career," McCain replied. "There are targeted districts, and there are areas that we call battleground states, and so please, that rhetoric and kind of language is just part of the political lexicon. There is no place for threats of violence or anything else, but to say that someone is in a battleground state is not originated today."

After a testy back-and-forth, Curry said, "I think it is the 'reload' and 'crosshairs' that's caused a lot of people to be concerned, senator."

"We condemn any violence, any threats of violence," responded McCain. "But I've heard all of that language throughout my political career."

The Arizona senator said that anger about the bill "should be channeled into voter registration and to continue the struggle that we're in to regain America and stop mortgaging our children's futures."

Palin addressed the issue on Friday, while campaigning for McCain's re-election, calling it a "ginned-up controversy."

"We know violence isn't the answer," Palin said Friday. "When we take up our arms, we're talking about our vote. This B.S. coming from the lamestream media lately about us inciting violence, don't let the conversation be subverted, don't let a conversation like that get you off track."

Sen. John McCain is facing the hardest election fight of his Senate career as he faces off against J.D. Hayworth, former congressman and conservative talk radio host, who claims McCain is too moderate for Arizona Republicans. Because of the tough fight, Sarah Palin is lending her star power to the man who chose her to be his running mate.

Palin appeared with McCain for the first time Friday at a campaign rally since the pair lost the 2008 presidential election. Many were looking forward to the speech Palin gave, but the former governor also wrote an op-ed in Friday's Arizona Republic, asking supporters to send John McCain back to the United States Senate.

"It was one of my life's greatest privileges to serve as Sen. John McCain's running mate on the 2008 Republican ticket as he sought to lead us as president of the United States," Palin wrote. "And it's an honor to stand beside him now as he runs for re-election to the United States Senate."

The op-ed titled, "A Desire to Serve Defines McCain," examines the maverick of the Senate and points out some of the qualities Palin observed as they traveled across the country together.

"In 2008, I firmly believed that John McCain was the right man for America," Palin said. "Today, I know he's the right man for Arizona. Your state deserves more than rhetoric; you deserve a leader with a real record of accomplishment. That's why, on behalf of Sen. McCain, I'm asking for your vote. For the good of our entire country and the future of your state, please send John McCain back to the United States Senate."
